Default Loose Wheel hub bearing

Can anyone tell me if a very small amount of play in the front passenger side hub bearing will be alright for a while as i am off to France for two weeks with the motor
At the moment there is no noise coming from it .All your feedback'* will be very much appreciated
Many thanks PAUL
(Forgot to say that i had it tightend up to the correct torque which is 118 lbs ft)

I'd say if it'* quiet (not singing), then it'* okay for now. But I would keep an ear out if you're getting any kind of axial play.

im not recommending this to anyone, however, i noticed slight play in my Right front bearing almost a year ago.. im just now getting around to replacing it because its starting to make the car shake around 40-45MPH.
